Shlama all,
I have a question regarding this verse:
The chosen church which is at Babylon, and Mark, my son, salutes you. (1 Peter 5:13)
Where was Mar Kaypa when he wrote this epistle? The western church claims that he was in Rome, however the CoE maintains that he was in Seleucia-Ctesiphon, Mesopotamia. I'm definately leaning towards the CoE view here, but how can this be proven, historically? Also what on what grounds does the western church claim that he was in Rome? And where was Mar Marqus at the time?
Toddah,
Christina
